RE: My thoughts on the London Cryptocurrency Show - What happened and what we achieved!!!

Hi Dylan
I've finally managed to get round to getting my Steemit account up and running.
I had a great time at the show, and it thoroughly enjoyed chatting to you while you got your tobacco hit, out the back. I don't want to sound to +ve/west coast 'awesome', but you and the steemit people are accessible, friendly, and very generous with your time to talk to anyone , like myself, coming to this new. I still have to get my head around it, but the possibilities to really impact the world which you're already doing are pretty exciting.
This is quite different from presenters at run of the mill events who don't really want to engage with the public much. You guys really LIVE and breath what you talk about. I think you see yourselves as part of, you know, the public, and human race, which is re fresh ing
I'm very interested in the existential issue of crypto and coin prices and the dichotomy around that, and enjoyed talking about that. It would be great to hear that discussed a bit more. i.e. crypto platforms are about decentralisation and utility, and changing the world.....versus....crypto is about nothing except moonshoots and making a fast buck
I'm glad I've discovered this now, and I'll be posting mid life blah on this that and the other.
Looking forward to the next event, whenever that is. Thanks again.
P.S. Shout out to the binfinex guy, Elia Yousif, on their stand as well, who was very knowledgeable and patient too...I do talk a lot and ask too many questions

Hey man. Great to see you here. I hope you enjoy it, and you find a whole new world of possibilities on the blockchain. Was great to see you at the show too, and thanks for spending the time to come and talk with me about what you were up to, and to listen to me ramble on about STEEM! :)

It was a pleasure. You should bottle that ramble and give it to the world......oh, wait, you're doing that on STEEM, so job done!
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to hearing more.
What's clear in your head was a bit of a fog to me, so I need to spend some time on this to lift that fog.
I'm also going to push at the school I'm involved with to see if I can get the pupils, at least starting with the IT students, to start on Steemit.
It seems like a no brainer way to have them on a safer social media platform, start to get comfortable with blockchain, and also get a feel for the VALUE of content and data.
Cheers
